' Application filed March 12, 1901. Serial ;N o. 50,'799- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it-known that I, GEORGE GALSTER,acitizenof the United States, residing at De-v troit, in the county off Wayneand .State of- Michigan, have invented certain new and'u sefulImprovements in-Lamp-Guards, ofwhich the followiugis a specification,reference being had therein. to the, accompanying drawlugs. r p

The invention relates'to lamp-guards spe- 'cially designed forprotectingincandescent It is one object of the invention to obtain a;construction in which the parts maybe more consequently diminished. v

It is a further object of the invention to form an effective guardforthel'amp; and'the invention therefore'con'sists in the peculiarconstruction and arrangement of parts, as

3 hereinafter described and claimed.

.In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of the lamp-guard. I "ig.- '2-is a bottom plan view thereof. Fig.3 isalongitudinal sec tion onlinear; @Fig. 2 Fig. 4: is a horizontal section on line yy, Fig. 3.

The invention relates ]moreparticularly to. the construction ofthe bodyportion of the guard, not to the means employed'for securin g the guard.to the lamp-socket,and although the drawings show the guard providedwith securing means thisis not essential to the invention.

As shown, A designates the upper or clamping portion of the guard,comprising the arms a b, hinged at their lower ends to the ring 0 and attheir upper ends provided with neckloops (1 and d for engaging thelamp-socket. B represents the body portion of the guard, which forms thesubject-matter of the present invention and is constructed as follows: 6is a wire ring or annulus secured in any suitable way to the portion Aof the guard. As shown it is hinged by means of thelinks 5 f and issecured on the opposite side by the h ij is are four wire loops providedattheir ends with eyes Z, connected to the annulus e. These loops dependfrom said annulus and are arranged in pairs, which cross each otheratythe points m n 0 9,.s0 as to form a quadrangle. The upper ends of theloop of each pair are preferably arranged adjacent to each other, whilethe loops lie in divergent planes,

having their line of intersection substantially in the plane'of theannulus c, as shown in ,Fig. 3. To form the bottom portion of the guard,as well as to secure the loops in posi tion, the opposite corners of thequadrangle are connected by diagonal bars q and 4", re-

"spectively connecting the angles m n and 0 1).

complete the bulbular form of the guard. easily assembled and the costof manufacture 'Inthe manufacture of the guard the various parts arefirst formed with their eyes open, so.

that they may be engaged with each other.

The, workman then assembles the parts by hand and clenches the eyes.

It will be understood that the cost of manu-.

facture isc'hiefly the labor of assembling the parts and that thegreater the number of jclench'e's to be made the more time will beconsumed; With my construction the numberof clenches to be made iscomparatively small, and at the same time the parts are so arranged asto form an effective guard and a structure which will permanently retainits shape.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. In a'lamp-guard, a body portioncomprising two pair of loops crossing each other to form a quadrangle,and a brace extending.

diagonally across said quadrangle connected at its opposite ends to thecrossing loops and securing the latter in position.

" 2. In a lamp-guard, a body portion comprising two pair of loopscrossing each other prising an annulus, two pair of loops crossing Iquadrangle and downwardly-curved diagonal each other to form aquadrangle the ends of 1 cross-bars secured at their ends respectivelyeach pair being adjacent and secured to said to the crossing portions ofsaid loops. annulus and a brace extending diagonally In testimonywhereof I afiix my signature across said quadrangle its opposite endseonin presence of two Witnesses.

5. In a lamp-guard, an annulus, two pair \Vitnesses: of loops secured toand depending from said M. B. ODOGHERTY, 1o annulus and crossing eachother to form a H. 0. SMITH.
